Dexcom G5 Mobile FAQ

You have received two Dexcom G5 Mobile transmitters to support a six month supply. Each transmitter will last three months.

Please only use ONE transmitter to get started. Do not remove the second transmitter from the box until it is ready to be used. Once you see the transmitter “Low Battery” screen, replace the transmitter as soon as possible. Your transmitter battery may drain as quickly as one week after this alert appears.

Q:

Is the Dexcom G5 Mobile available for children?

A:

Yes, the Dexcom G5 Mobile is approved for both adults and children (age 2 years and older).

Q:

How long does the Dexcom G5 Mobile transmitter last?

A:

Your Dexcom G5 Mobile transmitter is covered under a limited warranty for three months, starting from the first day it is used. The transmitter is warrantied to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use. For additional information, please refer to either the Warranty card that was included in the shipment box or the user’s guide.

Q:

What is the difference between the Dexcom G5 Mobile system and the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Receiver with Share™?

A:

The primary difference between the two systems is that with the Dexcom G5 Mobile, your glucose data can now be sent directly to your smart device, independent of your Dexcom receiver. This is possible because the Bluetooth® technology that transmits glucose data is now housed within the G5 Mobile transmitter, not the receiver, as it was in the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM system. You have more flexibility with the G5 Mobile system because you can monitor your glucose data on your smart device (through the Dexcom G5 Mobile app) without carrying the receiver with you.

BRIEF SAFETY STATEMENT The Dexcom G5 Mobile Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System ("G5") is a glucose monitoring system indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age 2 years and older. The G5 is designed to replace fingerstick blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions. The G5 also aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. The G5 is intended for single patient use and requires a prescription. CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not rely on the G5 CGM data if you have recently taken acetaminophen. Remove the G5 (sensor, transmitter, and receiver) before Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) scan, or high-frequency electrical heat (diathermy) treatment. The G5 is MR Unsafe. Do not bring any portion of the G5 into the MRI environment. WARNING CGM-based diabetes treatment decisions are only approved with the G5, not previous generations of Dexcom CGM systems. Calibrate at least once every 12 hours using a fingerstick. If your G5 does not display a sensor glucose reading and an arrow, or if you are getting inaccurate or inconsistent readings, take a fingerstick. If your glucose readings and alerts do not match your symptoms or expectations, take a fingerstick to confirm. Failure to do so may lead to hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The G5 is not approved for use in pregnant women, persons on dialysis or critically ill persons. If a sensor breaks and no portion of it is visible above the skin, do not attempt to remove it. Seek professional medical help if you have infection or inflammation on or near the sensor insertion point. Report broken sensors to Dexcom Technical Support. Sensor placement is not approved for sites other than under the skin of the belly (ages 2 years and older) or upper buttocks (ages 2-17 years). To “share” data, you need an internet connection and a separate compatible smart device running the Dexcom Follow App. Contact Dexcom Toll Free at 877-339-2664 or www.dexcom.com for detailed indications for use and safety information.
